Time to reach for the pin and the blindfold as a big field of mostly unexposed three-year-olds take each other on. MANAABER is the speculative selection as the maiden she won at Doncaster in November has thrown up a couple of winners and trainer Barry Hills has won this twice in recent years. Sure Route made a winning reappearance at over a mile at Kempton, while Flashbang got off the mark over 6f at the same track last time. Herminella also scored on the Polytrack, but Blanche Dubawi was a cosy winner of a Redcar maiden in October and makes more appeal. Biaraafa won a handicap at Yarmouth recently but is one of the more exposed fillies in the race.
